twenty seven and mother of three chill

THE MORMONS.
Their Abandonment of Po1ygamy
Denounced as a Sham.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 6.-The
Tribune editorially says:
The Mormon article pretending to abolish
polygamy is fraud and sham. 1t omlts
unlawful cohabitation the most prevalent
and offensive feature being continuous living
i'll polygamy, and all that Mormon would
need to do in order to live ia his religion
would be to quietly marry polygamously, and
keep the knowledge of the fact from obtrus-
lively offending Mormon prosecuting attor
ney for three years, and from thereafter ne
could i've in the most shameful and indecent
polygamy, with neither law nor constitution
TO say him nay. He would also be backed by
the church and dominant sentiment, and the
constitution would be laughed to scorn, as
the church programme contemplateS.
The Tribune contrasts this move with
the declaration of grievances and pro-
tests made by the MOrmons two years
ago upho!ding polygamy as a true
church doctrine, and complaining OF
legislation against it as infringing on
the rights of conscience. Delegate Caine
presided at the meeting at which this
was adopted and signed it as chairman.
He also presided at this constitutional
convention. The same persons and the
same power Ordain both, then and how
then in earnest, now parading for effect
and with an attempt to deceive the
public. If admitted as state the priest
hood would have it all its own way.
The day in the constitutional conven-
ton has been taken up in the discussion
of the clauses prohibiting polygamy and
providing for the separation of church
and state. The discussion was ami
mated, and some vigorous speeches
against both clauses were made, but
both of them passed the committee Of
the whole and will undoubtedly be
adopted by the convention by large
majority. Whether or not the people
will ratify the constitution by popular
vote next August remains to be seen.
It's believed there will be majority in
favor of the constitution, though many
old and thorough-going homogeneous
Mormons are pronounced in opposition
to the antipolygamous article. The
convention is working hard, holding
three sessions day in order to complete
the work, and get the new constitution
well before the people in time for an in
telligent vote On the same at the
August election.
